lyrics

walk into the bathroom on some nature documentary scene
the cat is staring at me, a mangled mouse is hanging in his teeth
I feel i'm in control now, it's the predator, the dying prey, and me

maybe in the morning, another one will wander to his jaw
and once again I'll wonder if it's kinder not to rescue it at all
but the feeling I know better
and the one that drives that cat to move his claw
originate the same in instinct, so why should I make the call?

that rodent wouldn't even make it if I freed it
so I tried to end its suffering but I failed it
I tried to let him kill it
he just wouldn't

he lives in the house
he's never caught food
and now that he's done it
he doesn't know what to do
that mouse in his mouth
now struggles to breathe
I'll put that on me
